Prosecutor Fani Willis, Judge Scott McAfee Win GA 2024 Elections

Updated at 8:50 p.m.

ATLANTA, GA — A local Georgia primary race with a national following — the Democratic primary for Fulton County District Attorney — has been called for incumbent Fani Willis, according to the Associated Press.

The AP unofficially called the race for Willis at 7:31 p.m. EDT. Polls closed at 7 p.m. She faced Democratic author and attorney Christian Wise Smith.

In November’s general election, Willis will face Courtney Kramer, a Republican lawyer who interned in the Trump White House and was involved in Trump’s efforts to reverse his 2020 loss in Georgia, The Washington Post reported.

The other nationally known name on the Georgia ballot is Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, who on Tuesday was elected to his first full term since being appointed to the court last year, according to the Associated Press.

Both Willis and McAffee are prominent figures in an election subversion case against former President Donald Trump.

With 37 percent of votes tallied in McAfee's race at 8:10 p.m., he had a huge lead with 83.2% of the votes over challenger Robert Patillo with 16.8%, The New York Times reported.

Willis gained national attention in the past year leading the prosecution in the election case against Trump and 18 allies. McAfee has also gained fame as he runs the courtroom.
